Start set up: the set up i have built for starting out is certainly not a top tier dps set up- more of hybrid tank/dps set up- the corpse burster set is fantastic! Fun and quite strong! If you wana add a bit more damage to this set up very simply- you could just swap around chaines with archer, but personally i like my chaines on my staff bar. I tend to feel comfortable running this start set up right up to Arc 5-7 but swap to the next set up (the tonk) whenever you feel like the incoming pressure is to much either in damage or negatively impacting sustain to much.
Tonk: the tonk set up is certainly capable of going the distance and can out put a fair amount of damage too in certain situations. definitely grab that Iron Atro transformation and see how many Storm Atros you can summon (muhahahahahah…..it's a lot). Just to add to those Atros, cuz Major Berserk just isn't enough- we pair it with War Machine to double up on that nice bonus! Try out the incredible Soul Burst skill to immobilize, purge a negative effect from yourself, AND interrupt enemies in aoe! The Masters Ice Staff works perfectly in conjunction with keeping up the weaking glyph allowing for actually decent uptimes with the Staffs buff! With everything this set up has we do make a small sacrifice- the only AOE source of Major Cowardice on this set up is the Shield Throw which is unideal but still very manageable (might take a tid bit of practice)- this leads to the next set up-
Survive: if/when you start feeling a little squishy or maybe a really challenging boss comes up or if your teammate is dying often enough- Survive- feel free to change the script on shield throw from multi-target to taunt cuz this set up has Mass Hysteria! And since we're taking advantage of the shadow skill line we might as well take advantage of the incredible Mirage Skill- a huge help against some of the Marauders, Bosses, Elite Adds, Environmental Damage…..yeah just great against everything really!
There's definitely plenty of room for changes with these set up's, and it might seem a little odd to have redundancy with Major Cowardice but it's really the most important debuff when Archiving, that being said a great swap out would be another on shield throw you could run Major Vitality instead of Cowardice, plenty of room for tweaking this to making it play better to your needs- and your teammates :). Hope this helps some players achieve whatever Archive goals they may have, if you have any questions about the build or Archiving/ESO in general I stream on twitch at twitch.tv/ragdoll_trainer feel free to pop by and ask!
Happy Happy Archiving Player!!
